Get Yourself The New Sigur Rós Scented Candle For Valentine’s Day (Courtesy of FILTER Tumblr)

By Staff on February 14, 2013

While we here at FILTER have already given you the best gift that anyone could get on Valentine's Day, we were kind of overwhelmed with excitement and general giddiness when we learned on our Tumblr (via The AV Club) that Sigur Rós has released an official scented candle!

Named after a track from Valtari, the Varðeldur candle has a very specific smell and attachment to the group. Read about it below from their official website store:

"THE SMOKY, SLIGHTLY BRINY SMELL OF A FLOTSAM CAMPFIRE ON A DISTANT BLACK BEACH UNDER A WAN MIDNIGHT SUN. AND, MOST RECENTLY, THE SMELL OF SIGUR ROS'S STUDIO, WHILE THEY GO ABOUT THE QUASI-MYSTICAL BUSINESS OF MAKING THE MAGIC HAPPEN. SPECIALLY DEVELOPED TO THE BAND'S OLFACTORY SPECIFICATIONS, THIS CANDLE BURNS FOR 35 EVOCATIVE HOURS OF "INSTANT ICELAND", OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT."

Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for more wonderful band products and other discoveries!
